DB

Considering offers and trades for my auction item.

1x DB

[Asha]

Wait, 1x db is an auction item?

[Things2Come]

Correct, the highest DB at the auction is 2x, and went for nearly 30 million.

These are alterable, and have already been altered. There's a free alter scroll for attending ebons, so if you don't like the current look, easily changed to something you prefer.

As far as what I'm looking for ... 5500 premium points or lots of coins.

If you have something else neat to trade, feel free to offer, the worst is that I'll decline. I would consider a 10x shield.

[StrayRogue]

1x DBs usually sell from 5 to 10 mil.

[Things2Come]

Yeah, good luck with getting one for that.

Not gonna happen.

[Stunseed]

Actually, Stay's pretty well spot on.

Now that I think about it, with MORE low-end db items in the market, you're prolly going to get less. The 2x got overpaid for, as well. I do hope you get what you're asking for, but I know I wouldn't pay it.

TO ADD:

Looking at its placer on the body, the 2x was still overpaid, but not by much ( maybe 5 mil ). The only way you'd get more than 10 million for a 1x is if someone was DESPARATE and it was pin-worn.

[Anailea]

I got my 1X DB item at the auction today (Saturday) for 160K, of course mine went really cheap, but it is also pin-worn.

[Stunseed]

I'd pay more for the bowtie, regardless of the DO NOT ALTER tag on it.

[StrayRogue]

Yeah, good luck with getting one for that.

Not gonna happen.

You're an idiot if you think it will go for much more.

Just to add: I'd never buy boot worn DB's either, simply because the rogue giftbox enhancer is so much better. A smart rogue wouldn't trade these out for 5 paultry DS. Not for more than 10 million, anyway.

Everyone is dogging the bowtie but it's gonna bring sexy back.

[Drinin]

My general rule for DB items: Take the enchant, and multiply it by 10mil. So . . . I wouldn't pay much more than 10mil for a 1x DB item (less if it was cloak-worn, more if it was pin-worn, 10mil for a boot-worn).

[StrayRogue]

Good rule. Although pin worn higher enchant DBs sell for more (sometimes 30 mil more than the 10x ones).

[budartagnan]

I paid 3.5 million, and probably overbid, but I didn't want to piss about in a bidding war with someone. Mine's wristworn and a bit better looking than the bowtie. :)

[AestheticDeath]

I gotta question about the DB items. Can you wear ten 1x ones and get 50 DS at level 3? Or is it still limited by your level?

[crb]

The thing about low-end DB items is that they're too small to make a difference to your general survivability. a 1x db item is a cast of 401 or half a cast of 103. If you needed just that little extra DS its fair easy to get without buying a DB item.

I got a 10x <2lbs pin worn and I think I only paid 120m for it, so factor backwards from there.

True. Can't remember how much I paid for my 5X cloak-worn DB, but it was around 50 mil. Wearing 2 or 3 DB items that add to the max +50 is good, but stacking 10 1X DB items is gonna hurt you on either your item slots, or bank account if they are pin-worn.

I think he was questioning it more on an acedemic level, because I really doubt that's his plan. Would the question resonate as more reasonable if he asked if you could wear 5 2x DB item's at level 5 and get +50 (or would you only get +10). Or if you could wear 2 5x DBs at level 13. Likely the same answer.

[Artha]

A level 3 character couldn't hold a 2x DB.

[Celephais]

A level 3 character couldn't hold a 2x DB.

Read it again, slowly this time.

[Asha]

Yes, of course a character who can hold 1x can hold 10 1x's.
Although there's a rule about how many db you can actually wear. Think it's only maxed out at 10x but I could be wrong.

[Artha]

Oh, my bad. I was looking for a question that wasn't dumb.

[Celephais]

Once again reiterating your lack of reading comprehension, won't find one here.

Not my question, I'm just clarifying it, because no one seems to get what AD was asking (or at least the few people who have responded).

It's not a question of if you can hold it or not, it's a question of if the level limit applies per item or your total DB plus (and yes we both know that 10x is the most regardless, do the math on all the hypotheticals and that's where it lands you).

[Artha]

You can hold a 1x sword, 1x shield, and 1x armor. Why wouldn't you be able to hold 10 1x DB items?


Once again reiterating your lack of reading comprehension, won't find one here.
Reread what I wrote vis-a-vis what you wrote a couple times. Slowly.

[Celephais]

The question is not what you can hold. The question is what bonus do you get.

I'm under the impression that using a 6x bow with ebladed arrows only nets a bonus of +30 if you are level 15. Despite holding the 4x arrows and holding the 6x bow, they won't let you stack to +50 until you are level 25. Very likely this is the same case with DB items.

edit: although I could be wrong about that bonus at level 15, never tried it. But I imagine whatever the answer it is the same with DB as it is with ranged weapons + ammo

[Artha]

There's only one way to find out for sure, who wants to blow 10 - 20m on a level 3 character?

[AestheticDeath]

Celephais seems to have gotten the point exactly. I noticed that someone had screwed up DB items, so as to make a +50 max bonus. Was making sure the rest of the stuff I knew of wasnt messed up as well.

So the question stands I think, If you have a lvl 3 character, and you hold more than one 1x DB item, will you get more then 5 DS from it?

[AestheticDeath]

I am sure several people have DB items of this caliber, it isnt hard to test it. You dont need to waste coins on a new character. Just roll a new one if you dont have a low level locker guy.

Another swing, another miss. I'm sure nobody really cares, as I already stated it's acedemic in nature. There aren't lvl 19 battlegrounds in GS so there is no point in doing this intentionally. We're not talking about BoE DB items either, so as AD stated, no waste involved. If anyone who had two or more DB items (of less than 10x) cared to find out, it wouldn't be too hard.

[Warriorbird]

I'd rock the bowtie.

[Artha]

Obviously someone cares or it never would've been mentioned. I don't think I need to get Latrinsorm in here to draw you a logic diagram.

I guess if you already have them, no. Elsewise you're going to need to buy them, and while you may resell you also may not.

In conclusion, I teach inner city youth how to read. Step off.

[Celephais]

Obviously someone cares or it never would've been mentioned. The word you missed was "really".


I guess if you already have them, no... This time you missed this little part
If anyone who had two or more DB items (of less than 10x) cared to find out, it wouldn't be too hard.


In conclusion, I teach inner city youth how to read. Step off. Stating what you do in real life buys you no leverage on an internet forum... (I believe there is a stated law like murphy's law or that law about all threads degenerating to hitler comments that addresses this). And teaching inner city youths how to read, while a noble endeavour, doesn't make you a rhodes scholar.

In conclusion, I'm just trying to clarify someone elses question, as there was some confusion. You just seem to be harping on the fact that I called you out on mis-reading my post...

Asinine questions breed comments of the same ilk. How the hell did you expect someone to respond to your pompous prick style responses ?

Thinking it over you're right, not exactly getting anywhere, sorry for derailing the thread Things2Come, and Artha for the snide remarks.
